Woman Accused Of Pulling Gun At Viva Chicken Over Price Dispute

HUNTERSVILLE, NC — Huntersville police are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman they say pulled a gun on a Viva Chicken restaurant employee during a dispute over the price for a daily special late last month.

According to Huntersville Police Department, the woman “became irate” during the July 31 price dispute in the restaurant located at 9121 Sam Furr Road in Huntersville.

“After throwing a drink on the manager, she then pulled a small, semi-automatic handgun from her waistband and threatened the manager,” HPD said in a statement.

The woman then left the restaurant and got into the back seat of a white four-door car, which HPD said was possibly a 2015 Hyundai with a personalized NC tag.

She is described as between 25 and 35 years-old, 5-foot, 4-inches tall with a medium build and a tattoo on her left hand between her thumb and index finger.

HPD said anyone with information about the woman’s identity is asked to call the department at 704-464-5400. Tips may also be made anonymously to North Mecklenburg Crime Stoppers, 704-896-7867, http://www.northmeckcrimestoppers.org.
